monitor power saving

[Christian Fröbel]

Hi there,

well, I finally got it working (at least for the moment) following the 
instructions in one of the posts in kubuntuforums.net, which I can find 
anymore at the moment.

in /etc/X11/xorg.conf there were double Sections for device, monitor and 
screen. I removed them. And I manually added the following lines:

in Section "Monitor":
Option		"DPMS"

Section "ServerLayout":
Option "OffTime" "5"

Still I don't know who corrupted this file. I'm not sure if it was KDE at 
all... Wait, now I am. I just edited the offtime via the display settings (in 
admin mode) and xorg.conf is corrupted again. Well, this is kind of annoying.

btw: Is there any way of generating a fresh and working xorg.conf somehow, 
like dpkg --configure <some package>? Who knows what else KDE corrupted in 
this file that I'm not aware of.

cheers,
  Christian
